[PREHOOK]

Started of with decoded

Then read Seat of the soul

Bought one for the homies

Now we all Think and grow

[VERSE 1]

Searching the meaning of life

And that got me reading a lot

All the pages say the same thing

I guess it's really up to me

To mind my business, Keep a good mind

And things will happen in they're own time

Meanwhile don't focus on the how

Just focus on the outcome

Let It all figure out

These just some lessons I've learned

And been putting to work

And they really seem to work

And I just gotta tell somebody

Cause I learned the same shit you can only learn in prison

Read IceBerg Slim, now a nigga got the ism's

Wanna be 5% so I study supreme wisdom

...whats your math?

Cause I used to laugh when they told me it was fundamental

Now I'm gassing all over these instrumentals

Wasted all that damn time feeling bad for failing school

When they never taught me shit

Only how to break the rules... now

I'm a smooth..criminal

Started off with decoded

Then read seat of the the soul

Bought one for the homes

Now we all think and grow

But its more

My favorite is Napoleon

Hill and Rhonda Byrne

If you want to succeed

You gotta pick up a book and just learn

[VERSE 2]

What if you could outwhit the devil that's a step ahead of the grave

I'm feeling more Django then I am 12 years a slave

There's a gap in the middle got to make a thinner space

Got to see the picture through the dots before I start to trace

Cuz it could be a maze or amazing for this black man in America

What would you settle for

Cuz everything got a price on it

And it might cause your life homie on me

But their success in being still learn that from Uncle Russ

Word to my RushCard that's a black card for us

And we grateful for every opportunity to be something

Need to believe something

Now I believe in me

Rich Dad Poor Dad, it makes no difference to me

I'll never let things fall apart Chinua Achebe

If you wonder what a life for you here for

Rick Warren ....

Will make you a machine

If they want to hide something in this probably in the book

But what happens when begin to look...
